Intro: G5     B5  G5 

G5            
My love, I am the speed of sound
           B5           G5
I left them motherless, fatherless
                            Bb5 
Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
         D5
But it's never enough
       B5   F#5 F#5
I want you

           D5                
Carve your name across three counties
          B5
Ground it in with bloody hides
      D5
Their broken necks will lie in the ditch
         Bb5                G5
Till you stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it
D5
Stop this madness
       B5   F#5  F#5
I want you

       D5
I have waited with a glacier's patience
        B5                     G5
Smashed every transformer with every trailer
     D5
Till nothing was standing
      B5               G5
Sixty five miles wide
Bb5                     G5
Still you are nowhere, still you are nowhere
B5
Nowhere in sight
Bb5
Come out to meet me
G5
Run out to meet me
     D5
Come into the light

Bb5    G5     D5          
Bb5    G5     

          D5 
Climb the boxcars to the engine, through the smoke and to the sky
G5                                  B5
Your rails have always outrun mine. So I...
            E5
Picked them up and crashed them down
     G5
In a moment close to now
      G5
Cause I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss
D5               
I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss
          G5                     B5    
How d'you sigh yourself to sleep
     G5            
When I'd rake the springtime
 D5
Across your sheets

   G5
My love, I am the speed of sound
           B5           G5
I left the motherless, fatherless
                            Bb5
Their souls dangling inside out from their mouths
         D5
But it's never enough

D5                                     B5         A5
My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening
            G5
But morning finds you
               B5          E5
Still warm and breathing


G5
This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you
D5                                               G5
This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you, 
G5
This tornado loves you...
                     D5
What will make you believe me?
